Data Conversion

[Brad Markisohn]

I've been brute forcing a conversion of binary data in a byte array into
ASCII encrypted hex (2 chars = 1 byte). Is there a formatting scheme that
will allow me to do this? Here's a snipet of the code I've been using:

For Count = 0 To myBuffer.Ubound(0)

If Len(Hex(myBuffer(Count))) < 2 Then

ByteValue = "0" & Hex(myBuffer(Count))

Else

ByteValue = Hex(ReadBuffer(Count))

End If

DisplayString.Append(ByteValue)

Next Count

Formatting scheme?

I've been using:

For Count = 0 To myBuffer.Ubound(0)

If Len(Hex(myBuffer(Count))) < 2 Then

ByteValue = "0" & Hex(myBuffer(Count))

Else

ByteValue = Hex(ReadBuffer(Count))

End If

DisplayString.Append(ByteValue)

Next Count

I would write:

For Count = 0 To myBuffer.Ubound(0)
DisplayString.Append(myBuffer(Count).ToString("X2")
Next Count

Does this help?

Hi Brad,

Thanks for posting in the community.

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue.
From your description, I understand that you want to convert a byte array
into a string, where each byte will be convert into two chars.
Have I fully understood you? If there is anything I misunderstood, please
feel free to let me know.

I agree with Armin's suggestion. Also what do you mean by the "Formatting
scheme", if you have any concern on this issue ,please post here.
